AFTER THE STORM.
WEST vraGINIAs SENATORIAL FIGHT.
The BALLOT YESTERDAY.
The Warning Factions Somewhat Ex-
hausted-The Camderites viii Not
Yield-The Republicans.
fso.c,., telegram 70 tho Dispatch.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, January ~
The storm of yesterdays senatorial
proceedings was to-day followed by
lull. The warning factions seem to
have exhausted their supplies of invec-
ton and bitterness, and were awaiting
the result with patience. On the as
sembling of the two houses one Re
publican senator (MorrisOn) was found
to be absent on account of sickness,
but his absence did not materially
affect the result of the balloting.
Only one nomination was made-that of
Hon. w. T. Willey-whereupon the bal
loting commenced, and resulted as fol-
lows Camden, SO; Wiley, 33; Bur
dette, s; johnson, 4; Harris, 2; and
Jackson, Wilson, Raymond, Davis.
Bannan. Newman, and Brown, each.
All of those voted for except Wiley
and Burdette ore Democrats. The new
names brought out to-day are eX-
Governor Jackson. Hon. j. W.
Harris, of Greenbrier, prOmi-
nent candidate for the nomination
for Congress in the last campaign, and
Hon. J. +. Brown, of this city, ex-mem-
Der OF the House of Delegates. II will
be seen that Camden loses one vote
that of Delegate Chambers, who was
not caucus man-while his principal
opponent (Willey) loses seven, six of
which went to Burdctte, the seventh
being absent Camdcn's friends are
less hopeful to-day, though by no means
dspairing.
THOSE BITTER SPEECHES.
Yesterdays bitter speeches served 10
show that they could not longer hope
to gain over enough Democrats to elect
him, and to-day's voting shows that
tie Republicans ore not disposed to
help him in the least at present On
this subject one of the leaders of that
party said to me to-day that the Re
publiGns had almost sworn not to in
terfere. but to let the Democrats settle
it among themselves. This could
easily be done, were the Camden men
willing to support any one of the other
candidates, but Senator Sommerville
expressed the sentiments of the Cam
denites yesterday when he said the ma
jority would never yield to the minori
ty. The Democrats who stand out
against the caucus nominee give no
very tcnable reasons for their action,
but this very fact is probably one of
the most serious aspects of the sltua-
ton. and things have now come to
such pass that Camden's reelection,
it is said, is demanded in the interests
of the party in the Safe.
The Republicans fight him solely be
cause he is a Democrat, and has always
been u Democrat under all circum-
stances, and that to his efforts the as
tendency Of the Democratic party in
the State is largely due. Their charges
against Senator Camden in this respect
are true. He has always fought the
Republican party and its proscriptiys
ideas, aud there has not been politi-
cal campaign for twenty-five years that
he was not on hand fighting the enemy,
md fighting him effectively.

and volunteer uniforms his royal highness
has, or should have, thirty-nine. Most peo-
pie are aware that he is cOlonel-in-chief of
each of the three regiments of Household
Cavalry, of the Tenth Hussars and of the
Rifle Brigade, but it is not so generally
known that he is also honorary colonel Of
eleven East Indian regiments, including the
Sixth Bengal Cavalry, the Guides Corps, and
the Second Gookhas. Of commissions III
militia and volunteer regiments he holds
seventeen in all, and, as every one knows,
he is honorary colonel of the Pomeranian
Hussars (Blucher's OWN as well as a field
marshal in the German army.
Among the princes more miscellaneous
uniforms may be reckoned those attaching
to his office as lord of the isles (if, indeed,
this office entails even this sartorial respon-
sibility), high steward of Plymouth, doc
tor of music. Grand Mason of the Freema-
sons elder brother of Trinity House, COM
modore of five yacht clubs, president of the
and bencher of the Middle Temple Thus it
will be seen how easily three-figure total
may be reached; and granting that in lib
eral percentage of cases no uniform
has ever to be worn, there must
be still sufficient number of varied
costumes left to constitute in themselves a
very large wardrobe, and one needing the
most systematic care in the method of its
arrangement. I have doubts, however,
whether the suggestion of kind of Nine.
Tussaud's devoted entirely to the exhibition
forms would be a popular show, even if ad-
carried out. 1t is we'll to remember
the moral of the saying "7owjours perdriz,"
which. being translated freely, means it is
possible to have too much even of q good
Figaro.

tCOpyriyhted, ISL

When it is necessary to move United
States troops from one part of the
Union to another there are no difficult
ties in the way of transport. They can
be sent rapidly to almost any given
point by rail; or an ordinary steamer,
equipped for freight or passenger traffic,
will convey them within easy marching
distance of the fortress or garrison to
which they have been posted.
! 1t is not so in some other countries.
Of course, on the European continent
railroads are available and steamers may
be used on occasion, but where soldiers
have to be sent far across the seas, as in
the case of France during the recent
conflict with the Chinese, or of Italy
when troops were sent to some portions
of Egypt for brief period, men-of-war
must be used, or chartered ships specially
fitted for the purpose.
In no country is the problem of mill
tary transport by sea so difficult to work
out successfully when emergencies
arise as in Great Britain. Even
when there are no signs of war, troops
in course of regular relief must be
taken to and brought from very distant
stations. To do this in such manner
as to insure the health and comfort of
officers and men, many minute details
require close attention and have to be
carried out rapidly yet completely before
Co,
voyage anticipated.
AS British garrisons have to be main
tanned up to a certain strength at Glib
raltar, Malta, Cyprus, the West Indies,
in the East Indies, Africa, China and
North America, it is obvious that only
completely organized system will suffice
to enable moves to be made with any de-
gree of certainty and promptitude. An
immense commissariat and transport
staff must be kept up on land, and sew
eral troopships af1oat are necessary for
carrying purposes.
The vessels frequently used at the
present time are the lamar, Crocodile,
Jumna, Malabar and Orontes, each capa-
BILE of accommodating from 1900 to
? 1000 soldiers with their complement of
officers and all the authorized baggage .
and equipment necessary in time of war.
Steamers of this kind are built and ar
ranged especially for the purpose for
which they are used, and could not well
be utilized for any other. In size and
general appearance they look like I'M
wieldy masses of wood and iron, likely
to topple over or become at any rate
perfectly helpless in the trough of an
angry sea- This, however, is complete
1elusion. Not one of the vessels named
but has weathered storms more terrible
St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1887-09-17

than could possibly be pictured by a
landsman, and emerged from most UNI
equal conflicts with the elements without
broken timber or loosened bolt.
Fitted with immense marine engines
of maximum power and strength, these
leviathans pillow through the waves
with quite as much ease as farmer turns
a furrow, their usual rate of speed being
twelve knots an hour, without an inch of
canvas spread. When the wind is favor
able several sails of great size are furled
and the steam-power for the time reduced
unless the voyage is one requiring rapid
rate of progress. When the pillows are
white with foam and waves rise suffi-
GENTLY high to cause an ordinary steamer
to pitch or roll, one of these stately float
ing garrlsons, white-hulled and standing
high out OF the water, even when heavily
loaded, moves along as free from disturb
ance or unequal motion as if the sea were
as smooth as glass.
The behavior of a British troopship
in storm, guided as she is by men with
level heads and brave, unt1inching ma
lures, is something which if once wit
messed from the bridge or from the deck
can never be effaced from memory. An
swering her helm as readily as would a
yacht of slender build, and resisting the
angry buffeting of the breakers as they
dash against her sturdy iron sides, she
seems to be endowed with an instinct
almost as keen as that possessed by her
commander. The proportion of officers
is so small in regiments and detachments
that comparatively little space is neces-
sary for their accommodation. They
have, of course, the privilege of the
quarterback and saloon. Cabins for the
senior officers are fitted in around the
sides of the latter, and quarters for the |
